The daemon should be started at system bootup. It will take care of starting
additional daemonic threads as it sees fit.
The drop-in substitute for clamscan is clamdscan - this will talk to clamd for
you. clamdscan does require that clamd be running when you call clamdscan.
Another thing to consider is freshclam. You can run freshclam as a daemon
(freshclam -d), or periodically through cron (without the -d.) Do not run
freshclamd -d through cron or you'll be running multiple daemons and eventually
bring your machine to its knees.
